I happened across this on the net one day and even though I wasn't in the market at the time I thought, what the hey. This helmet came with a carry cover, looked better than my Shoei and didn't fog like I expected it to. The helmet was a comfortable snug fit and my other helmet was given to my girlfriend

I bought this just in case my current, 5 year old Shoei TZ-R was nixed for my next track day in April. I was not expecting the same quality as my Shoei, and was curious how the fit was as other reviewers noted that it was similar to that of a Shoei I have a Shoei head.... I was pleasantly surprised at the finish and overall fit of the helmet which belies it's 65 price. It is lighter than my Shoei, and surprisingly, there is noticeably less wind noise at freeway speeds. However, air management around the face is poor. I have dry eyes, and at any speed above 30, there is a lot of air moving around your face. I traced this to the shorter cheek pads that leave a larger front gap, and the more protruding chin piece that leaves a substantial gap between my chin and the chin bar. A 12 thick piece of weatherstripping helps, but there is still 3x the air flowing on my face compared to my Shoei. This is the biggest downside of the helmet in my opinion as the turbulence dries out my eyes. In the morning, there's quite a bit of air flow around my ears too which chills them a lot more than my Shoei. Chin vent position makes no noticeable difference in the air flow. For the price, it's still a decent helmet if you can live with the turbulence around your face.

Great helmet. I ride with a black AFX90 in the summer heat of Phoenix, AZ. Air vents alow enough airflow that my head stays cool with face shield down. Aerodynamic, my head doesnt buck around in the wind. Visor flips up from low to wide open, in increments, to allow a positive set position however i want. Padding is soft, but firm, and very comfortable. Padding is designed to come out and is washable. i've washed mine, and it's holding up well to repeated washings. Just let air dry. Forward visibility and periferal vision is unobstructed. I use the clear visor most of the time at night, but the helmet is comfortable if I wear it with a clear face shield and sunglasses. Easy to change the face shields to other available tints. I also have the mirrored face shield lens for the bright Arizona sun -- my favorite. chin strap has a comfort liner, and knotched D-rings to fit a helmet lock if you have one on your bike. Price is economical, but the fit and quality is high. Great buy. Go for it

For the price, I thought it would be worth a shot particularly since I prefer solid red helmets for conspicuity. The overall quality really isn't bad- fit is good, finish acceptable. It's no Shoei my other helmet, but the fit is decent and, surprisingly, it's quieter than my Shoei TZR. But there is a LOT of air moving around your face from as low as 30 mph. I thought that it was the face shield as it did not close tightly against the eye port gasket, but some tape around the shield made no difference. I then compared it to my Shoei, and the chin bar sits a good 12 further forward resulting in a substantially larger opening in front. I'll be trying some weatherstripping to fill in the gap. There's also a lot of air that circulates around the ears. This might be good on warm days, but it's winter now and riding in 40 degree weather makes your ear very cold- something I've never had happen with any other helmet before. These are very basic issues that the manufacturer could have easily engineered out at likely no additional cost from a production standpoint. I think I'll be able to address most of the shortcomings, but it's disappointing, even given the price point. Time will tell how it holds up. It seems pretty durable although I question how the face shield detents will hold up as the face shield flexes enough that they only partially engage as you're opening the shield, but they do engage when you relieve pressure and the flexing stops.

Sizing Chart & Specs for the AFX FX90 Dare Helmets

AFX HelmetsDetermine the circumference of the widest part of your head by using a flexible tape measure. Generally, the widest part of a person's head is the area 2.5cm (1") above the eyes and ears. However, we suggest measuring at a few points both above and below that line to determine the greatest measurement before referring to our size tables. We also suggest testing the fit of a helmet one size smaller and one size larger then what the chart recommends. No helmet can provide protection if it's too uncomfortable to wear.
